VALENTINES

DAY

ARE YOU A CHOCOHOLIC?Sure, you love chocolate and you occasionally crave it. But chocoholics

in the true senseare a rare and proud breed. They eat, sleep, and

breathe this delectable confection. They would rather give up alcohol, sex,

reading tabloids, going on Facebook, even shopping, than surrender their

daily fix. Not sure if youre ready to join the ranks? If you answer yesto

more than five of the following, youre well on your way.

Every night, visions of sugar plums dipped in fudge dance in my

head.

I am a member of The World Chocolate Society: in October, I fly to

Paris for the Chocolate Salon; in November, I taste everything at theNew York Chocolate Show; and every February, I road-trip to the

Annual Chocolate Lovers Festival in Fairfax, Virginia.

I have sampled all of the following: truffles with real gold shavings;

bacon-flavored chocolate bars; even chocolate-covered ants!

My favorite color is chocolate brown; close second is mocha.

Ive consumed the entire 2-pound milk chocolate Dylans Candy Bar in

one sitting.

I subscribe to the twelve-step chocoholic program: Never be morethan 12 steps away from a piece!

I ABIDE BY ALL OF THESE SWEET SAYINGS:

Theres nothing better than a good friendexcept a good friend with

chocolate.

Once you consume chocolate, chocolate will consume you.

Anything tastes better dipped in chocolate.

Money talks. Chocolate sings!

Chocolate is natures way of making up for Mondays.

Coffee makes it possible to get out of bed, but chocolate makes it

worthwhile.

Seven days without chocolate makes one weak.

Forget diamonds! Chocolate is a girls best friend.

Coffee, chocolate, mensome things are better rich!

BRAIN CANDYCHOCOLATE FUN FACTS

Americans spend more than $7 billion on chocolate and

consume about 2.8 billion pounds of it yearly!

The average American eats 10 to 12 pounds (about

27,000 calories worth!) of chocolate a year. The average

Swiss eats 27 pounds a year (okay, they win!).

According to Pat Kendall, Ph.D., a Food Science and

Nutrition Specialist at Colorado State University,

chocolate is the most commonly craved food in North

America; 40 percent of American women and 15 percent

of American men are chocoholics.

According to The Guinness Book of World Records, the

largest chocolate bar weighed 7,892 pounds, 8 ounces,

and was made by Elah Dufour-Novi in Alessandria,

Piemonte, Italy, on October 11, 2007.

In 2008, to celebrate the launch of Thorntons Moments

chocolates, the UK company created the worlds largest

box of chocolates. It was 16.5 feet tall, 11.5 feet wide,

and contained 220,000 individually wrapped pieces of

chocolate!

MarieBelle in New York City sold (and may still take

special custom orders for) the worlds most expensive

box of chocolates. For $15,000 you can purchase the

Chocolate Picnic Steamer Trunk containing 500 pieces of

chocolate ganache, 5 pounds of chocolate bark and

croquettes, 80 ounces of Aztec hot chocolate, 8 ounces

of Aztec Hot Chocolate Bars, and Aztec Iced Chocolate.

It also comes with a leather journal, a teapot, an infuser,

and a small library filled with books about chocolate!

Lovers express their lust by giving green M&Ms (they are

rumored to be an aphrodisiac). On Valentines Day,

M&Ms/Mars even sells them solo as the color of love.

The green M&M is the only female, and the seductress of

the M&Ms characters.

Artist Luis Morera and Chocovic, the largest chocolate

producer in Spain, created a 7-metric-ton chocolate

heart for Valentines Day 2002. The grand confection

was commissioned by online dating service Match.com

and made it into the Guinness Book of World Records.

A CHOCOLATE ADAY CAN KEEP THE

DOCTOR AWAY!

Studies have shown that consuming a

small bar of dark chocolate every day

can reduce blood pressure in indi-

viduals with high blood pressure.

Dark chocolate has been shown to

reduce LDL cholesterol (the bad

cholesterol) by up to 10 percent.

Dark chocolate is a potent antioxi-

dant. Antioxidants gobble up freeradicals, destructive molecules that

are implicated in heart disease and

other ailments.

Chocolate contains the neurotrans-

mitter serotonin, which acts as an

antidepressant.

Chocolate is a great energy source!

A single chocolate chip can provide

enough energy for an adult to walk

150 feet.

BRAIN CANDYFONDUE

Fondue stems from the French word fondre, which

means to melt. Originally, people in Switzerland

made cheese fondue in a large communal pot as a

way of using up dry, hardened cheese. In the

1950s, cheese and chocolate fondue made theirway to the United States and became an elegant

dessert option and a fad for parties. Chocolate fondue is

a warm, sweet chocolate sauce that you dip treats

intoeverything from fruit and cake to nuts, marsh-

mallows, bread, even whole chiles. Be creative: anything

tastes better dipped in chocolate! Break out the double

boiler or a pretty fondue pot and start melting. Note:

Look, chocoholics, even the bottle is really foiled

chocolate.
